OPERATing ON her OWN FREQUENCY
Angela Wong Carbone has always let authentic storytelling lead her. She is an actor, writer, producer, and native New Yorker who started her film career when she was discovered in Rome, Italy. She trained at N.Y.U. Stonestreet and Cornell University, where she also received her Bachelor of Architecture. As an actor, her career spans indie and mainstream markets; from her first feature film, Terra (dir. Marco de Angelis), to her Sundance 2022 breakout Resurrection (dir. Andrew Semans, Universal), from her experimental episodic series Swipe Night (dir. Karena Evans) to her recurring role on season 7 of Chicago Med (NBC). She was recently selected as a member of the 2020 ABC Talent Showcase under the direction of Marci Phillips and Ayo Davis.
Wong Carbone’s dedication to uplifting and illuminating underrepresented voices defines her slate. Wong Carbone’s short film, Postmarked, stars Rob Morgan and Quei Tann and was executive produced by Lena Waithe after her script was selected from 2000 submissions for AT&T Hello Lab’s Mentorship Program in 2019. She was a recipient of Tribeca Studios and Lilly’s Vital Stories program in 2025, and the resulting film, Do I Know You From Somewhere? premiered at Tribeca Festival 2026.
Other screenwriting accolades include: 2021 quarterfinalist, Slamdance’s Screenwriting Competition, 2022 and 2023 semifinalist in AT&T Untold Stories for Belonging; finalist, 2022 and 2024 Mentorship Matters for pilots, The House of My Father, and Do I Know You From Somewhere? She produced the 2024 Russo Brothers Italian American Film Forum recipient, The Fencer by Nicholas Marchetti. Her fiction audio show, Minor Legends, on AAPI urban legends, was The Gotham’s Market Selection (fka IFP Week 2020) and won Mixed Asian Media Fest’s Best New Media award in 2021, a NYFA Queens Grant in 2023, and a NYC Podcast Marz Marcello Award for Non-binary Excellence in Audio Storytelling in 2025. The show was released on Podcast Potluck Collective in 2025.
Her stories, essays, and recipes appear in Lulu Gioiello’s Far Near, a continuing book project on East Asian identity, Alex Chester’s Mixed Asian Media (Hapa Mag), Joysauce, Asian Cinevision, and Eileen Kelly's Killerandasweetthang.
She is currently developing several projects.
